About this opportunity

The Elizabethtown Area Water Authority is seeking bids for the Water Main Replacement Project Phase 2 (Contract No. WR-2), a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative. The project encompasses the relocation of approximately 12,000 feet of 8-inch ductile iron pipe (DIP) water main, including associated appurtenances, removal and capping of existing 4-, 6-, and 8-inch water mains, replacement of twelve fire hydrants, and transfer of 230 existing water services to the new water main. Bids will be received online until Wednesday, August 27, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time, with a public bid opening immediately following. Prospective bidders are required to register on the designated bidding website (https://pennbid.bonfirehub.com/) to access all project documents, including the comprehensive bid set, project manual, and any potential addenda. The project requires a single Prime Contract and involves furnishing all necessary materials, equipment, labor, and miscellaneous items as specified in the contract documents. Bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure compliance with the detailed specifications provided in the attached files.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, interested contractors should be prepared to demonstrate technical capabilities and experience in municipal water infrastructure projects. The project files include a comprehensive bid set (11MB), project manual (38MB), and an addendum, suggesting complex technical requirements that may limit participation to experienced water infrastructure contractors. No specific incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified in the available information. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, though the extensive scope of work involving 12,000 feet of water main replacement, multiple fire hydrants, and 230 service transfers indicates a significant capital investment. Potential bidders should carefully review the technical specifications in the Project Manual and Bid Set to understand the full scope of work, required qualifications, and potential project value. All official communications, including potential addenda or clarifications, will be distributed exclusively through the designated online bidding platform.
